I also use my public library from time-to-time. I own a Kindle and do occasionally purchase books from Amazon for it. But, agreements with studios aside, the services are similar. To be fair to Netflix, should compare content libraries. Plus you get more with the Amazon subscription. Associating the 2-day delivery service with Prime is a brilliant marketing program and is generating millions in profits for Amazon.Īt $79/year that is $6.58/month which is better than NetFlix at $7.99/month. But in general I don’t purchase items online where I have to have 2-day delivery over standard shipping. We did take advantage of the free shipping with a few purchases during our trial period.
I didn’t sign-up for the trial based on the shipping feature, but for many consumers this is the primary draw to the service. (Read how Amazon prime is very profitable for Amazon). If standard delivery is typically around $6 then you would break-even after 13 or so purchases while getting a faster delivery. The shipping fee scales well for high volume internet purchasers. The Amazon Prime annual fee is $79 and includes three services:Ģ. * A Sony DVD player via ether hookup and Amazon Prime App * A Samsung TV via ethernet hookup Amazon Prime App To review the service I used several devices: Based on her expectations and viewing habits, I’ll say I have to agree with her. She had told me before that Amazon Prime is intended to serve as a video supplement to television programming, not a replacement of the primary content source. At the end of the first 48 hours my kids told me they didn’t see any value in the service and my wife reminded me that she was right (again). My latest test was the Amazon Prime service. They use both the cable on-demand service as well as a DVR to record content.
My family likes current programming offered by the networks and cable channels. I’m sure the TV industry is thankful that my television consumption habits are in the minority. To be fair, they consume more video content than I do. So my quest for a lower monthly alternative to television programming continues year-after-year. The problem is, the other members in my family enjoy the cable service and want to keep it. I have a small obsession in my life I want to ditch the monthly cable bill.
